items for sale for a specified number of days. The seller
can establish a reserve price.

Fixed Price format allows the seller to offer one or more
items for sale at a Buy It Now price. Buyers who agree to
pay that price win the auction immediately without
submitting a bid.

Dutch Auctions allow the seller to offer two or more
identical items in the same auction. Bidders can bid for
any number from one item up to the total number offered.

      {insider} Selling Tip

            Sell For a Cause

“   eBay Giving Works listings tend to sell at
      higher final prices, because buyers are
      more willing to purchase and often pay
    more for items that benefit a nonprofit. You
      can enhance buyer trust and loyalty by
       aligning with a cause, gain increased
     exposure, and receive a receipt for your
              tax-deductible donations!
                                       ”
          How does it work?
Using MissionFish as an arbiter, eBay allows sellers to donate
      a portion of their auction proceeds to a charity of the
                          seller's choice.




                                                  You choose the
                                                     charity and
                                                   you select the
                                                     percentage
                                                     (from 10% up to
                                                              100%)
        {additional} Benefits

  functionality reserved exclusively for eBay Giving
  Works listings
• Stand out with a distinctive charity icon in the title bar
  of the listing both in search results and on the view
  item page
